45562 "Galbertea" starts the climb to Copy Pit at Hall Royd Junction with "The Cotton Mill Express" - 1Z10 08:08 Lancaster to Blackburn. 29/2/2020. This day was the first time I'd seen a single chimney green Jubilee on the main line since BR steam finished. Everything comes to he who waits!
In preparation for an afternoon Santa Special back in December of 2014, Valley Railroad Mikado #3025 runs around her passenger consist in the yard at Essex, CT, near Milepost 4.0.
Back in 2017, the railroad was running two types of Christmas trains, one being a daytime "Santa Special" and the other, the night-time, "North Pole Express." The daytime trains were a little shorter in duration and did not offer the on-board theatrical productions that the night-time trips did. It was also offered at a lower price-point, to account for the fact that some families just can't afford the higher fare for several people. In later years, due to incredible demand for the North Pole Express product, the railroad dropped the Santa Special trips and simply started their North Pole Express at 2PM, offering 9 trips on weekdays and 13 on the weekends. The demand seems to be there. Every year, the tickets go on sale in September and are gone within days. In 2024, the railroad fielded 4 trains, 3 of which were steam-powered, and carried something like 87,000 passengers during the 6-week holiday season.

Southern Pacific 4449, also known as the Daylight, is a GS-4 class 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive, built in May 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
It is the only surviving example of the Southern Pacific Railroad's GS-4 class of 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotives and one of only two streamlined GS class locomotives preserved, the other being GS-6 No. 4460 at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri.
GS is an abbreviation of General Service or Golden State, the latter of which was a nickname for California, where the locomotive was used to operate in revenue service.

This is the last version of the single cylinder MM2, made for just one year before it was replaced by the SP2. The first version of the MM2 was a twin cylinder horizontally opposed type but few of them were made and are now very rare. The model was reintroduced in 1948 with a single cylinder so that it became similar to the slightly smaller MM1 which was updated about the same time. This design was updated several times, culminating in this version with a raised base, engine frame riveted to the boiler, mazac flywheel, sight glass and solid fuel tablet burner.
Some cool old steamers, in action!

Early steam locomotive with support tender. Boiler rests on tender frame, and cannot be decoupled. Large spark arrestor because fired with wood. Original colours unknown, but dark blue looks just right.
BoilingMan commented on Train Orders:
Those bridges crossing the tracks are Grand Ave approaching the Bay Bridge. The RR ramp on the right curves up and over the yard tracks--the photographer is standing on that bridge. This bridge was the "Red Car's" connection to the Bay Bridge.

Here is what I can make of the hand written caption on the back. "Oakland Pier The 4-6-2 skyline casing from train 255 Coast Daylight backs toward the roundhouse after being cut off the head end. Return to Richard Steinheimer". I assume Steinheimer was the photographer.

In the 90-degree heat of a summer afternoon in sunny California, the Roaring Camp & Big Trees' Shay #1 "Dixiana" takes the last trip of the day toward the summit of Bear Mountain in Felton, CA. "Dixie", as they call her, is a 1912-vintage, 2-truck, Lima Shay with roughly 17,300 lbs. of tractive effort. This image was captured on the east side of the village, just before "Dixie" and her train ducked under the tree canopy for the roughly 80-minute excursion through the redwood forest.
This photo isn't much different than the last shot of Harbour Station I posted from this view, except it has TWO trains present with Linda; back from its work on The Snowdonian now set up to run the Quarryman service. While I noted a lot of the coaches in my prior post are newbuilds, there is a decent mix of original Victorian era stock in there as well which a more detailed read on other sources online can explain better than I could.
Stanier 8F No.48773 leaves Bewdley and passes Sandy Lane on the Severn Valley Railway 16th March 2003.
It's a steam train photo of the engine right in your face. :P
Although, something has to be said about the sheer size of even an early 20th century Consolidation. Consider with about 41,800 lbf of tractive effort that 93 is nearly as strong as Britain's LNER P2 at about 43,500 lbf; in the early 1900's the American railroading network was already leaning into heavy haulage. Sure, nobody could claim 93 would win a beauty contest, or a speed one; but this machine is meant to slug out freight and is only a window into the massive locomotives that would follow in years to come.

Tucked away in Stall 1 of the Roaring Camp engine house is this 1899-vintage, 2-truck Heisler, which came here from the famous West Side Lumber Co. in Tuolumne, CA. She was built as a narrow-gauge engine and for many years, operated on the Hetch Hetchy & Yosemite Valleys, hauling timber to the West Side mills. Later in her career, in 1947, she was modified to standard gauge and worked as the mill switcher at West Side. After retirement, she was acquired by the Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad and was brought here to Felton, CA. She was converted back to narrow gauge and today, runs mainly during holiday periods and special events, when the railroad needs to operate multiple trains. She's a bit less powerful than the line's Shay #1 "Dixiana", and is typically held in reserve, as she was on this particular day.
This image was captured over the Labor Day Weekend of 2026 at Felton, California's Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad, with the kind permission of the shop crew, under supervision. The engine shop is normally off limits to the public.
as built from the early 1880ies until about 1924. Last seen in regular service in 1979.
